We would like to invite you to a visit of
the Krásnohorská Cave, a unique karst formation,
which is registered in The World Heritage List (UNESCO). A tour
through the cave is accessible for visitors by a built up tourist route
and it is not lit. You can enter it only with a guide as a small group
equipped with caving suites, helmets and headlights.
The route leads to the Dripstone of Rožňava Cavers – the giant
column 32.6
m high. Currently, it is listed in the Guinness Book
of Records as the highest sinter column in the world. Although several
higher columns were already found, it is a monumental nature creation
rare in caves in temperate climate zone. You will pass
450
m long route built up by using wooden footbridges
lying above an underground stream, which flows through the main cave
passage. Besides, you will climb several ladders and cross two rope
traverses hanging above lakes. It is not difficult and visitors enjoy it
very much.
The route is suitable almost for
every healthy person. Visitors from 6 to 76 years old have already passed
it. Children under 15 can enter the cave only accompanied with parents. As
the route is characteristic by a broken terrain it’s good to have hiking
shoes. If you do not have suitable shoes we can borrow you gum boots for
20,- Slovak crowns (Sk). Visitors meet the guide in the
office (see the map below) by the guest-house Jozefína in Krásnohorská
Dlhá Lúka village. After registration and getting necessary equipment a
group walks about 1
km to the cave entrance. The visit lasts approx. 2
and 1/2 hours. During high season (15.6. – 15.9.), visiting times are at 9
a.m., 11,30 a.m. and 2 p.m. During other months, it is necessary to book
the visit by phone or via e-mail. Due to high interest we recommend to
book your visit during summer, too. Entrance fees are presented in the Price List.
